In the box provided on the Pick 4 ticket, mark either Straight Play or Box Play. Determine how many consecutive draws to play (up to 10 draws, starting with the current draw).

For Box Play, the digits you select determine which Box Play prize category you are eligible for (4-Way, 6-Way, 12-Way or 24-Way Box Play) Only one Box Play type will apply per draw. Box Play can be won four different ways:

  • 4 Way Box – Match all 4 digits in any order, where 3 of the digits are the same (e.g. 1112)

  • 12 Way Box – Match all 4 digits in any order, where 2 of the digits are the same (e.g. 1123)
  • 24 Way Box – Match all 4 digits in any order, where all 4 digits are different (eg.1234)

Play

The PICK-4 numbers are drawn by ball drop using the same Ryo Catteau ball machines that we use for PICK-3 and ENCORE. One ball machine will be loaded with one set of balls numbered from 0 to 9. After a ball is dropped and the digit recorded the ball is reloaded and another drop takes place to create the next digit of the winning number. For PICK-3 there are three ball drops. Therefore for PICK-4 there will be four separate ball drops.

To win the prize money of CA$5000 all four digits must match the digits drawn in the order they’re drawn.

How to check the results of Pick 4 and claim prize?

You can visit your nearest lottery retailer and check the results or check at the online Keno lottery website.

At the retailer you can also check the result with the draw machine that scans your ticket and you can see a winning message on the Customer Display Screen and hear a winning message play from the lottery terminal.

For LOTTO tickets, your winning prize amount will be printed (or ‘branded’) on the front, left-hand side of your original ticket.

If the retailer can pay your prize, he or she will tear through the bar code of your paid-out ticket, and return the validated ticket to you along with the corresponding Customer Receipt.

If a retailer is unable to validate your ticket because it is damaged you must mail it to the Prize Centre to determine if the ticket has won a prize.

Every time a retailer checks a LOTTO ticket on a lottery terminal, a customer receipt is printed.

The boxed ticket number on the customer receipt will match the ticket number on your LOTTO ticket.

The prize below $1000 is paid by the retailer or any lottery outlet when you produce your original ticket. Prizes above $1000 is paid by the OLG after verifying your documents and ID proof.
